It's sad, and even a bit horrifying to watch someone who held so much promise just a short time ago, choose to throw so many bright tomorrows away, by allowing his ego to own him so thoroughly. It's as if his adult judgment center was completely switched off.
There's really no way to make sense of what he's just done.
* Someone who held so much promise. Er.......what promise?
* His adult judgement center was switched off. Hm........?
Cold reality. The cruzer has spent 99% of his existence in DC and the remaining 1% in the womb.
He is an establishment flunky as well as a sore loser w/o honor. As Ko-Ko (Mikado) sang “He never will be missed.” Bye bye asshole! Retry Canada!!!!
There’s really no way to make sense of what he’s just done.

Likewise with Jeb Bush and John Kacich. They too are being ruled by childish impulses.
The funny thing about Cruz is that he basically substantiated the things Trump accused him of. ‘Lying Ted’ said in March 2016 that he would support the party’s nominee but clearly lied about that. It was stunning to watch a political meltdown like this.
He missed a golden opportunity to polish his image and elevate his stature in the party. A mature person with a healthy ego would have seen that and seized the moment.
